Every Dem is using a sophisticated model called “PTSD” that subtracts 5 points from every red state Dem and 10 for Maine and South Carolina

I received the poll testing the ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother calling her daughter a "liar." Comes from the polling firm Dynata. Before showing the ad, the poll asks whether it's true Acton was sexually abused and lived in a tent as a child. Then the ad plays twice.

In fairness, "Trump sells $1 Trump coins to his fans for $2 apiece" is a pretty good metaphor for his whole term.

I‘ll stop posting timelapses of the aurora from the @Space_Station when I’m tired of looking at them . . . so basically never! Another unforgettable display of this ethereal phenomenon as it danced beneath us last night, this one even more special as it was shared with @astro_anil, as he witnessed it for the first time with such intensity. The red wavelengths (above the green) were particularly bright in this pass.

Just awful numbers for the war in Iran:
1) More Republicans call the war a net-negative than a net-positive.
2) Just 39% of Republicans -- and 16% overall -- say we're winning or have won the war.

fortunately US didn't elect a woman president to prattle on cluelessly about interior decorating in a time of war; if so, calls for her impeachment would be immediate.

Paramount should enjoy its growing news monopoly while they have it because when Democrats win back power we are going to break up these anti-democratic information conglomerates. All of them.
Netflix dropped out of the fight to buy Warner Bros. Discovery, clearing the way for rival bidder Paramount Skydance to clinch its $111 billion deal for the historic Hollywood studio bloom.bg/4qXzF4Y

This is brilliant! Democrat candidate for US Congress in Illinois’ 9th district, Kat Abughazaleh, launched an attack ad against herself!

How weak and pathetic do you have to be to be this scared of a fireside chat?
BREAKING: Under pressure from the White House and State Department, USA House (a church acting as the official US pavilion) is now denying entry to @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom to speak with media after Fortune — the official media partner — invited him to speak.

“Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed.”
Trump actually said this. This might be one of the stupidest things he’s ever said and a true Hall of Fame entry.

AI research must be protected from military misuse. It’s clear that Frankenstein’s military monster has left the lab and, unless humanity heeds Zelensky and AI experts, the next world war may not be fought by humans at all … But humans will certainly be its victims.

The indictment appears to attribute to Comey words he never uttered.
In answering Sen. Cruz, Comey said he stood by his 2017 testimony. He did not say in the 2020 hearing that he had not “authorized someone else at the FBI to be an anonymous source in news reports.”

Summary of Trump’s speech to the UN today:
1. Your countries all suck.
2. None of you know what you are doing.
3. The US is better at everything.
4. All because of me.
5. I’m right about everything.
6. You should listen to me & do what I say.
7. And give me lots of awards.

Putin's drone-swarm over Poland is a test of the West. Trump's response so far is not comforting. slate.com/news-and-politics/…

James Garfield was shot by a man who firmly believed he was owed a job for helping Garfield win the election (a thing that he did not do.) Ronald Reagan was shot by a man who was trying to impress a teenaged actress.

"I think we're really going to be living in the world Charlie Kirk created, in terms of this universe of online right-wing influencers who are on YouTube, on podcasts, on TikTok, and also really willing to go out into the world."

Even before the 9/11 attacks, Col. Richard "Rick" Rescorla was a decorated war hero with a Silver Star from his actions in Vietnam.
24 years ago today, Rescorla saved 2,687 people and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Here’s how it happened. 🧵
